14 is the old unix limit. Basically 16 bytes/file - 14 for the name 2 for
the inode number.

Basically, though the decision was made on a PDP machine in the 1970s
Talking of bugs. I dont really have time to argue with CVS but I've got the
small fixes needed to make the elks kit build under glibc 2.1 here. They
are just glitches in include file choice, and also an unrelated thinko in byacc
(it uses cc not bcc)
